If the guy who started this does have actual evidence leading to an actual government account or employee this will be explosive. In March Boris rehired Lynton Crosby's attack dogs to pump out propaganda during the crisis, coincidence? Only thing I will say is the guy who's leaked this is connected to right wing watch who don't have the best track record.
I am glad I didnt plan to vote Tory anyway if my politcal views did match theirs I would have had a problem because how can you vote for someone who you cant trust - even if he says he is going to do things how can you believe him. Thats the thing I cant understand how you can vote for someone who is so blatantly untrustworthy
I may be mistaken but I think he's tracked them down to a company set up by people who left the tories, founded a marketing company and has just one customer or something like that.
Quite a few blue tick journalists commenting on Twitter about it. They reckon the investigator stated he's got proof on a department of health employee or account holder involved.
We haven't seen the evidence yet, just seen that some exists. Until the evidence is seen, we should be careful but the DHSC were out replying in bulk last night to deny it - which is suspicious in itself. Why not just release a statement. Same with the denial for the Sunday Times piece - too much detail and too long.
Also, what about the time they bought an official sounding domain that made people think it was a link to Labour’s Manifesto and bought Google ads to promote it?
Are there any politicians you can trust? I may be paranoid but I trust no one in politics. Always vote labour because I like their policies but look at the expenses fraud. Eric Ilsley was our MP before being found out and I suspect many, many more were a bit more subtle and got away with it. Councillors on the planning committee who are builders. Then there were the Euro MPs who nipped over to Brussels on Easyjet, signed in and caught the next flight back. Then claimed the full flight and attendance allowance. Dennis Skinner seems to be about the only genuine bloke in that there Parliament.
Corbyn would be out of sight like Boris is. Only it would be because he's in the high risk age group and not because he's recovering from the virus.
Eric Illsley critisced the rising cost of the Glassworks - not the best one to comment on financial affairs
Pockets of smaller coordinated attempts, I'd call 120-130 small scale compared to Russian industrial political bot roll outs.
What amazes me is that no matter how many times The Tory Party is shown up for the lying manipulative set of lovely people that they are, people still say "but Corbyn" I'm yet to see a Tory anywhere on social media who actually criticises them anywhere. It's bizarre. I voted Labour, but I'm wise enough to criticise and pick at some of their policies I disagree with - but I've never seen any Boris ****** do this.
Yeah, it was on all the main news sites at the time. The website itself had a statement saying that it belonged to the Conservatives (as all advertisements had to say who was funding them during the campaign) but of course, the damage had been done by then by people clicking on the ad or just stumbling across it whilst typing in a website that sounded like what they were looking for. It was only a couple of days after factcheckUK too.
To add some context to this post, the bloke behind the the investigation is a well known online far left agitator and leader of far right watch. His far right watch twitter handle was banned for wait for it.... Anti Semitic abuse. He is a bit of a Walter Mitty character who once claimed to serve in both the Army and the Marines and has previously been linked to multiple false accounts along with some of his chums relating to multiple twitter bans and suspensions. You’ll note as well on the example nurse one of the followers is the handle is socialist voice again known for some of his close to the knuckle comments about Israel. Twitter is a minefield of false flags, misinformation, misdirection and deliberately incorrect statements on all sides of the political spectrum and he might have stumbled on a pot of gold with this story but until he actually sticks his evidence up in black and white I would be wary of falling too far into the rabbit hole with this expose.
Not the 'left' side of the argument at all, just the principled, conscience-driven, correct one. I stand by every word.
So China, Russia and North Korea are our Friends. I’ve heard it all now. This board is slowly turning into a farce. Too many people talking *****!!!!!
